Putin vows to 'firmly' defend Russian interests on Victory Day
Russia has marked the 76th anniversary of victory in World War II with a military parade in Moscow's Red Square.
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a speech saying the country will firmly defend its national interests and denounced racial and national superiority.
This year's parade comes under strained relations between Moscow and Western countries. The United States and Russia have expelled each other's diplomats in recent months in a series of retaliatory moves.
Scottish National Party wins vote to set up independence clash
Scotland is headed for a protracted showdown with the U.K. government over the right to an independence referendum after the Scottish National Party scored a decisive election victory.
SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon had vowed to push for a second independence referendum by the end of 2023 if her party gets enough seats.
Scotland voted to remain part of the United Kingdom in 2014.
But the U.K.-wide decision in 2016 to leave the European Union ran against the wishes of most Scots. 62 percent of the voters were in favor of staying within the bloc.
COVID-19 death toll projected to reach 1 million in India by August: The Lancet
An article published in The Lancet projects that the cumulative number of COVID-19 deaths in India could reached 1 million by Aug 1.
It suggests that India readjust its measures and called on the government to adopt a "two-pronged" strategy by speeding up vaccination and reducing transmission.
Doctor Vikas Bajpai from Jawaharlal Nehru University says he is disappointed about the country's pandemic response.
Saturday figures saw India's daily COVID-19 deaths exceed 4,000 for the first time as the country is still seeing over 400,000 new daily cases.

The Asian Development Bank will stop financing new coal power plants under a newly-released draft energy policy.
The ADB will instead provide funds for natural gas projects and "hybrid electricity solutions" involving fossil fuels as backup systems based on certain criteria.

Family of George Floyd welcomes federal indictment of former police officers
The family of George Floyd has welcomed the indictment of four former Minneapolis police officers for their role in the arrest and murder of the Black man.
A federal grand jury in Minneapolis earlier issued a three-count indictment charging Derek Chauvin and three fellow former officers of violating Floyd's constitutional rights.
A 12-member Minneapolis jury last month convicted Chauvin of second- and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter.
Chauvin's sentencing is set for June 25.
